- cherries (fresh, pitted)
- cucumbers (chopped)
- rice vinegar
- salt & pepper
From Preppies: I had fresh bing cherries on hand, so I did a variation on this Food & Wine cherry-cucumber salad. I had no cilantro (I'd used it all up in the avocado salad further down on this list), so I skipped that. I used rice vinegar instead of white, and I didn’t bother with the olive oil (I’ll generally leave out the oil in a salad dressing at first, unless I decide there’s a compelling reason for it to be there. For a fruit-based salad, I saw no reason to add it). So, it’s just pitted fresh cherries, chopped cucumber, rice vinegar, salt, pepper. Good textures – cold and fresh and crisp, with a nice sweet-sour-salty balance.
